How Do You Know Which God Exists_ - Jeff Miller
Teachers
Lesson Summary
In the class, Dr. Jeff Miller introduced the apologetic challenge of distinguishing the biblical God from other deities once the existence of a supreme being is established. He explained that while earlier apologetics focused on proving a supernatural God, modern pluralism requires answering which specific God is true. Miller highlighted that Scripture guarantees that anyone earnestly seeking truth will find it, citing Matthew 5:6 and Matthew 7:7‑8, and argued that creation itself offers sufficient evidence of the Creator’s nature, referencing Romans 1:20. Miller used everyday analogies—clothing design, automobiles, parental traits—to illustrate how one can infer the character of a designer by observing their work. He emphasized that despite human corruption and the influence of Satan, the moral and aesthetic qualities evident in the created order point to a holy, loving God, not a malevolent or indifferent deity. Consequently, every person, regardless of cultural background, has an inexcusable opportunity to recognize the God of the Bible, making the pursuit of truth a universal responsibility for believers.
Key Scriptures
